episodes and 2 movies of the original series from start to finish, so it does a little amount of effort in refreshing your memory. The anime just assumes that you've seen all 49 It's essentially an all-new story that is set after the original series, featuring the cast you know and love.īut first, for those who are unfamiliar with Kamen Rider W: I highly, highly suggest watching it first before you go into this. Tl dr if you like KR W you will love this, if you haven't seen KR W then I HIGHLY recommend watching that firstĪre you a fan of Kamen Rider W? Are you itching for more of it? If the answer to even one of those questions is yes, then this anime is for you. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is okay with some generic Power-Ranger-esque fights and is looking for an immersive-ish mystery to last them a few hours.
I'm a sucker for detective stories in general, and seeing a good deduction by some unbelievably genius detectives is always a good time. Though it is the case that the show gets less interesting as things progress, it certainly isn't the case that it isn't interesting at all. Though there is a clear progression, it gets less and less interesting as the story builds up to its climax, paradoxically. After this first arc passes though, it almost feels like we are getting a repeat of what has already transpired, but with a different context each time. On the whole, the story starts off as an incredibly immersive mystery, complete with a red herring and a satisfying conclusion (and a hot girl-). The same battle track seems to play for a good 50% of serious fights, and reused visuals (and SFX) during transformations are fairly evident. Barring this though, I don't know if there is much else to be seen here.įrame and sound reuse seems to be weirdly pervasive in the work, despite all of the creative style oozing from the show. a raise because anyone else sure as hell wouldn't be able to make a USB stick sound badass. The voice actor (Tachiki Fumihiko) behind the transformation sound effect deserves The animation and art style are also pretty interesting because of the constant transformations that have to do with their Kamen Rider identities. I was immediately drawn into this show because of the amazingly jazzy soundtrack, complete with badass sax riffs and an incredible ED (including the visuals!). I don't know anything about Kamen Rider culture in general, but the idea of two dudes being genius Power-Ranger-detectives is slightly-outlandish-but-entertaining, if nothing else. Well, maybe it's a little bit more because of the Kamen Rider stuff.
